(this is my first fanfic-so please rate kindly!!)
Italy, Monday the 15th of May, 1400
There were screaming coming from outside and the pounding of feet. Queen
Jessica of Italy raced to the closest window and looked outside. There were
hundreds of people fleeing from the city that surrounded her palace walls.
She looked up to where her people were fleeing from and saw the mountain
Touchstone, but no longer a mountain-but an erupting active Volcano!! Her
heart was caught in her throat. She snapped her eyes away from the view and
ordered to a servant,
" Pack my bags, I am leaving - QUICK!!"
She ran off to find her councillor, and found him in the main entrance barking out orders. " Lorenzo! The mountain-" she started.
"- I know. I have your carriage awaiting you to take you to Egypt from Port Montana." He interrupted. " But what about you and all my people!?!" She hurriedly asked, after glimpsing at the flowing lava heading toward the city. " We will have to take our chances by fleeing to the boarders. This Volcano is huge and will cover the whole of Italy in lava. Now go!!" At that she raced out the front doors and into her awaiting carriage.
" Goodbye, my wonderful palace." She whispered as the carriage pulled away and she got her last glimpse of her home. Then she remembered... " Skipper!! I forgot Skipper!!" But, " Yip yip!" Skipper, her Jack Russel, jumped out of his basket that was placed in her carriage along with all her other precious belongings. He jumped onto his master's lap where he was greeted with a big hug. " Its pretty bad, boy. A volcano has erupted so we must flee to Egypt, which is opposite us." " Yip" was his reply. Along the way they had to dodge running people. They finally arrived at Port Montana and were whisked on board with Skipper and her bags. Before long they were out to sea and Jessica was watching from the boat as her country was filled with lava. "Great 17th birthday", she thought.
